A Bucks County conservative activist who ran for lieutenant governor is facing assault charges in connection with an underage drinking party at her home in September.

Clarice Shillinger, 36, is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 29 on charges of assault, harassment and furnishing minors with alcohol.

Schillinger, founder of the political action committee Keeping Kids in School, is accused of punching a 16-year-old partygoer several times in the face during a brawl among drunken adults at her Doylestown home, according to PhillyBurbs.com.

The affidavit also said Schillinger poured drinks for the teens and played beer pong with them.

    I appreciate now, how we are basically back to 1800s in terms of elected officials shennaniganery. No need to politically outmaneuver your opponent when you can just beat the shit out of them or rile up your voter base to potentially assassinate them.

    We had that idiot who was handed a family business from his dad trying to fight a union leader that had to be stopped by Bernie Sanders of all people, we’ve got the MAGA clown parade elected officials doing stochastic terrorism against their fellow Congresspeople…

    I am now awaiting something like Jackson beating his opponent with his cane to just recur.

    Maybe Matt Gaetz will impale Nancy Pelosi with an American flag sort of like in the ‘Nobody Speak’ music video.

          Exactly. One Senator formally challenged a union president, who was there to testify, to a fist fight, and Bernie Sanders had to tell him to sit the fuck down. That guy even brought up the Caning of Charles Sumner, like he thought that made what he did okay.
